DINITROPHENOL AND CATARACT

Abstract

In our next issue there will be published a brief report on eight cases of rapidly developing cataract appearing in relatively young women during or shortly after treatment with dinitrophenol for obesity. With the consent of Dr. W. W. Boardman, the author, this advance notice is given to our readers of this new danger associated with the use of this drug. Its employment in the Stanford Clinic has been discontinued.
